Centre Hall, PA
Saturday, April 28, 2012

The forecasted rain held off and conditions were cool and partly sunny for the 4th annual Pets Come First Dog Jog 5K. 100 runners, most running with a dog, completed the loop around the Grange fairgrounds in Centre Hall.

Race sponsor Tom Cali was not around to defend his title. Alan Effrig took the top spot, followed by Adam Wetzel and Scott Roycroft, both running with dogs.

Georganne Watson and her dog Jasper took the lead early and never looked back, winning the women’s race handily.

The top three open and masters men and women received Dog Jog travel mugs and a cupcake, and the top overall, rescue, veteran, small, medium, and large dogs with male and female runners received a travel mug, embroidered towel, and treats. The last finisher with a dog received a special “back of the pack” award.

Before and after the race, runners and their dogs and families enjoyed a pet fair, silent auction, and food vendors.

Thanks to all of the race volunteers and sponsors, and an extra big special thanks to Cheryl Capone for timing a race with so many unusual award categories.
